4 months agoAsk a Grow Question PH??? I know there are many opinions on whether we should pH our water or not, especially in an organic grow. I am growing in soil organically outside this year. My water out of the tap is 200ppm but over 9 PH. I have been using PH down to get around 6.5 (using Dota and Recharge). I’m not too picky about the number as long as it isn’t 9. I am thinking that I should continue to use PH down. Thoughts?

I’m still using a little in my granite hard water. I also use the Dots and Recharge. I haven’t stopped out of fear. lol.

Recharge fa da buffer mane fucc PH and grow dots
or let the earth do the works n ph down is bad for the microbes plus it adds bad salts to your soil

I’m extremely lucky and have extremely good source water. After 24 hours of dechlorination the pH is 7 and the EC is negligible.
If I use just under the manufacturers recommendations regarding dose my pH settles around 5.8 – 6.0 and the EC is below lockout levels.
Can’t complain.

in the ground or in a pot? def not needed in the ground unless your soil is really outta whack. should be fine in a pot with microbes!

I’m in SW FL. My water from well is about 800ppm, 18gr hard and 5+ppm of sulfur. The PH is around 8.2 depending on if dry or rainy season. I don’t PH my outside plants. But I did have some problems. So I switched to rainwater off the house roof.

Thanks all. I planned on going into the ground but it didnrt work out this year. I am going into 20 gallon pots using Jolly Rodger (think Build a soil 3.0 but VT local company) and Build A Soil Nutrient pack.
